I added this Acan bowerbanki to my reef tank after following the low light guidance. It settled well and has grown steadily over the past few months. The color has stayed vibrant despite moderate lighting. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.

The coral arrived healthy and has been in my tank for about six weeks. I started with low light and slowly increased it. It hasn’t shown any signs of bleaching, which I was worried about initially.

Great addition to my tank. I followed the recommended light schedule and it has adapted well. The growth is slow but steady, and the color is very natural.
